Question

Differentiate between ionic and covalent compounds on the basis of following properties 1. Interparticle force of attraction 2. Solubility of compounds in water

3. Electrical

conductivity
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ionic compounds have strong force of attraction between the oppositely charged ions (e.g., Na+ and Cl-), so they are solids. Covalent compounds have weak force of attraction between their molecules, so they are usually liquids or gases. Ionic compounds are soluble in water but covalent compounds are insoluble in water

Explanation:

Interparticle force of attraction can be define as the force of attraction exerts between particles(atoms,molecules). ... for ex- In solid particles are very close so they interparticle space is very less while in gas particles are very far from each other so they interparticle space is

The degree of solubility ranges widely depending on the substances, from infinitely soluble (fully miscible), such as ethanol in water, to poorly soluble, such as silver chloride in water. The term “insoluble” is often applied to poorly soluble compounds
